New regulations set at financial aid office
By Stacy Sadowski
Staff Writer
The Office of Financial Aid has implemented new guidelines providing academic eligibility criteria for undergraduate, graduate and professional students receiving financial aid.
The guidelines were developed in response to new federal regulations requiring institutions to set more specific academic progress guidelines, said Frank Tarquinio, director of financial aid.
Past policy has required that students maintain a 2.0 grade point average and be enrolled in 24 units each year, said Cecilia Shouwe, associate director of financial aid. “We didn't have an elaborate set of requirements before, now they are very detailed."
Students must be eligible to register and must be enrolled in a degree or certificate program in order to receive financial aid.
Undergraduates must progress by completing at least 24 units of course work applicable toward their degree objective in the first academic year, 52 units by the end of the second year, 82 units by the end of the third year, and 114 units by the end of the fourth year.
After each school year individual recipients' records will be reviewed to insure that reasonable progress has been made and that the student still qualifies for aid.

Government to check grant requirements
By Stacy Sadowski
Staff Writer
The federal government has added two new requirements that are randomly assigned to various Pell Grant applicants in a new flag check system.
Those chosen for the edit check must submit a copy of their 1984 1040 tax return or a signed Certification of Non-Filing statement if a 1040 was not filed. Others must complete an Income Verification Form documenting untaxed income, and parents must also complete this form if the student is dependent.
The Financial Aid Office began requesting additional information from those students concerned during the summer, but many documents are still needed and "spring fee bills will display Pell Grant credit only if eligibility has been confirmed," a press release issued by the office read.
Students anticipating a Pell Grant for next semester should have an offer letter confirming their eligibility or should contact the Financial Aid Office.

Filmmaker donates to Max Kade Institute
Campus library not a landmark
RALPH R. CALVO
The university’s Education Library was recently rejected as worthy of historical landmark consideration.
By Frank Buckley
Staff Writer
The university's Education Library, which was being considered as a historical landmark for the National Register of Historic Places, will not be placed in the register because the university wants to keep open the possibility of redeveloping the site in the future, said Paula Thomas, associate vice president of business affairs.
The university objected to a nomination for the library to be placed in the register, which protects buildings that have spe-
cial historical or architectural significance. Protection could include a special environmental impact investigation, and discussion of alternatives if the site is up for redevelopment or demolishment.
The library, located at the end of University Avenue near Jefferson Boulevard, was included as part of a "thematic nomination" that named several branch libraries in the Los Angeles area to be on the preservation list, said Denver Miller, a senior planner with the City of Pasadena who worked on packaging
the nomination for the Los Angeles Conservancy.
The conservancy was formed in 1978 and is a "broad-based representative voice for the preservation of our distinctive and urban heritage," a spokeswoman said.
Miller said being on the register doesn't insure that a building will be preserved, but does insure that its future is considered when developers move in.
"It doesn't save the building," Miller said. "It just insures that

Billy Wilder, an Austrian-born screenwriter and director whose credits include Sunset Boulevard. Some Like It Hot and The Lost Weekend, has donated about $10,500 to the Max Kade Institute for Austrian-German-Swiss Studies at the university.
Wilder received the money as part of the National Prize of Austria on Oct. 11.
Cornelius Schnauber, director of the institute, said the money will be used for a study of German-speaking directors who emigrated to Hollywood.
"We have been friends for several years, and he knows the institute is very much involved in studying the exile period (1933-49)."
Gifts as large as this one are rare for the institute, established in 1976 as the Max Kade German Center, Schnauber said.
Wilder, 79, was born in Austria and moved to the United States, where he became a citizen. Schnauber said the award is given "very rarely" by the Austrian government to promi-
nent individuals who are or once were Austrian citizens.
The award was announced on campus last December by the Austrian ambassador, when Wilder appeared at Norris Theatre for the last night of a retrospective of his films. Schnauber organized the retrospective with Delta Kappa Alpha, the cinema fraternity.
Schnauber said he met Wilder six years ago through a mutual friend, the late screenwriter Walter Reisch (Gaslight).
He said he has written 18 essays on German-speaking immigrants in the film industry, which will be published next year, and will supervise the study funded by Wilder's gift.
"Vou can see lots of influence of the European literary tradition in the work of these emigrants," Schnauber said.
Students and faculty at the institute generally concentrate on studying artists of the "exile period," when many writers and other artists left Nazi Germany for the United States, he said.
Wilder's gift exceeds the Institute's total yearly gift of about
BILLY WILDER
$10,000 from the Max Kade Foundation in New York, used for administrative and operating costs.
Schnauber said much of the institute's support comes from European sources, including the Austrian and German governments.
The institute, under the divi-
sion of humanities, was made independent of the German department last year.
The faculty, including visiting scholars from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, conducts seminars and workshops which attract mostly graduate students in literature, music and cinema, Schnauber said.
